loophole
'flaw?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for loophole that I've seen before include "useful for defence" , "Ambiguity (in rules) through which one can avoid punishment" , "Flaw or ambiguity in a rule" , "A way to evade an obligation" , "Escape clause" .)
